It is a pretty neat way to see who supports (or doesn't) what, and by the looks of it, Android seems to be the most feature-laden and flexible from all the latest mobile OS iterations. Some areas where it needs apps to do the task compared to the others still exist, of course, yet with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean the little green robot seems to have grown up to a teen Terminator...

Looks like every OS has its own advantages and Disadvantages...
but I would still stick to Android and would definitely get a WP 8 Device when they are released!! with all the new additions, WP 8 will be quite good!

I'd hate to trade in my Evo 4G LTE so soon for a WP8 handset, but we'll see... I feel like Windows is going to hit a real home run with their newest mobile OS, and I've been ingrained in the Xbox and Windows ecosystem far longer than I have been in Google's.

Unfortunately this kind of table is useless for comparison of complex and dynamic nobile OS systems. Maybe relevant in the era of Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 5-6 years ago. Wii seem to be the weakest but it racked up the most sales when released. PS3 was the one with the most impressive hardware and fan base but the sales were disappointing.

One can't really judge Windows Phone 8 yet. The consumer-end features have not been revealed yet and it seems skype integration isn't in the list. Wonder why.

Anyway, there is a chance that Microsoft has incorporated a notification center in WP8. Notice how they haven't showed anything regarding the app list. However, we all noticed that there was an 'unpin' option when moving and customizing tiles. Where do the unpinned tiles/apps go to? I reckon an app list WITH a notification center. OR, the reason why they centralized the start screen was so that they could introduce a THIRD panel when swiping left/right.

The list of Android features in incomplete and sometimes incorrect. I wonder if the person that wrote this ever used an android device at all:

- Advanced Calling features: Via Google Voice??? What about VOIP integration, Voice recording, Video Call, reply with text, ....
- Music Store / Movie Store: Google Play only??? - An Many others - unlike the other OSs that restrict where you can buy you stuff on the phone.
- Social Media Integration: Only twitter and Facebook??? G+, Linkedin, Yahoo, and dozens more....
- Android (Linux) is prone to malware? iOs6 and WP8 are safe?
- Offline reading lists NO????
- Gaming: less popular releases????? (Gameloft , rovio, etc, etc...)
- Social Gaming NO???? LOL
- Voice recognition: same as the others: "ability to launch apps"? forgot dictation and much, much more than the other competitors
- Wifi Syncing NO????
- Full device encryption NO? You can encrypt your data on your device storage in Settings.
- Cloud Support: It's fully integrated and the author forgot to mention a lot: here are some of the most known: Box, Dropbox and a lot more
- Find My Phone service NO? It comes in stock Samsung roms at least, and there are plenty of apps in the Android market for that. Also, Google Latitude can be used to locate your phone.
- Native Automobile Integration: NO???? Have you heard about Google Maps? That also provides OFFLINE navigation FREE?
- Wireless Cloud Backup No??? It's a standard feature for android. And there are also apps and Titanium Backup for FULL system backup including apps and system data if you want - Other phones provide very limited cloud backup functionality and don't integrate with other cloud apps.

A lot of other characteristics where android is much better than competitors were kept (intentionally?) out.

the reson android is prone to malware is only because its app store is more open then other OS appl and WP8 app store are not filled with danger softwares they get approved by MS or apple it take days to verify and they cant get the apps other way around :p

There might be a mistake here, wireless cloud backup for Windows Phone, only for picture exist if you have skydrive integrated. If wifi syncing is the sycronization of documents, photo, and music for android, if i'm not mistaken that does exist, i've seen it at settings menu.
